    • The brunette took me to her babushka in Viborg. Babushka proceeded to feed me as if I had just spent three years without having had a square meal. Lunch comprised borshch, baked khleb, potato cake, confetki, juice and anything else edible in the house. It was delicious, but I had had a large dinner the night before.

    Babushka asked brunette if I didn't like it because I wasn't eating very quickly. Brunette encouraged me to eat quicker and more.

    Eventually the trial by food was overcome, and the verdict was that I was acceptable to the babushka. An hour later and the brunette and I left, my little satchel laden with yet more potato cake!
